So fucking glad someone else said something about this. I can't stand knowing that the anorexic chick in white ( who is suppose to be god damn reddit ) is going to be representing the cosplay community on the scifi channel with that cosplay heros show.

I'm fucking ashamed. The only reason she is getting her own show is because she is on Chris Hardwick's dick.

Fuck her, google Chole Dystrake on tumblr for her nudes.

She's one of the people on the show that hasn't made any of her costumes. She commissions everything or half asses like this with a corset+accessory.

What do you think that this show is actually Yaya's show?
How do you feel that cosplaying has been becoming more mainstream?
Do you feel that it is right for Yaya to take cosplay and have it be on TV? And be more known all around?

Personally I liked it better when no one knew what cosplay was.

Does anyone have any examples of lolitas going into a more historical route?
The fashion obviously has roots in a historical fashion, but I really like the certain pictures where they go full out to make themselves fit in with a certain time period.

As much as I love IW, I'm not a big fan of the stained glass craze, so the print isn't doing much for me. I just notice it's always OP dresses I have a hard time fitting the bust for, the waist is never an issue. My chest measurement literally sits on the the usual max, and while I technically fit, they'd never be comfortable. JetJ stuff is torture for me to browse :c

Sage for irrelevant rant, post more beautiful historic fashion please~

Twenties is kind of hard to emulate in lolita, unless you go for a robe de style kind of look, though. I mean, skirts didn't really poof up until the New Look, which is why 50s lolita is much more common.

Not counting the shipping, I'd ask for maybe 20-40%, maybe a bit more,, depending on whether the stains come out. If they don't, that's on an offwhite print and extremely noticeable, so that's a pretty major flaw.
>>
>>6991351

That's odd too. When I shopped at Bodyline I gave them the dress I wanted, then they went away somewhere and came back with a new item in a plastic bag. There's no changing room though, so there's literally no way to see what an item would look like on you.
>>
>>6991470
I think they do, but this was more of a case of "lol bodyline is just shitty" and they refused to do anything for her so she avoided buying anything else from them ever.

Funnier part of it is that she was a pretty serious Lolita at the time and would never stoop to buying from them (this was a while back when they were mostly a cheap costume store and not putting out decent Lolita basics) but she was buying a cheap costume for a club night or something.
>>
>>6991485
oooh, did you buy it from that one leaving lolita post with 100+ items? I was debating that skirt too.

Also I don't think that print should run, but use a clean kitchen sponge just in case.
>>
>>6991486
The law in everywhere I've heard of specifically states that you are entitled to a cash refund, a replacement, or a repair, regardless of store policies, and if a store tells you they can't give you a refund in such a case, they are breaking the law. Again, though, I dunno about Japan, and I know not many Japanese people like complaining about faulty goods, so I can see how Bodyline would easily get away with doing stuff like that even if it's illegal.

Got a question in regards to cosplaying/crossplaying Chihiro. Now, obviously Chihiro is a boy and I am a girl, so I fully intend to bind and reduce my curves, but I'm wondering what to do about makeup? He fully passes for female in DR, so should I go for typical female character makeup? Or make an attempt to make myself look a little more boyish?
>>
>>6991265
I think that if you stick with simple nude looking makeup, you'd look great.

However, don't skimp on fake eylashes and circle lenses. He has very moe and big eyes, and his eyelashes do stand out.
>>
>>6991290
Just don't do the crazy wide eyes stare that one Chihiro cosplayer does.
>>
>>6991251
That girl doesn't even like HS?
>>
>>6991265
I'd say go for very natural makeup- subtle brown eyeshadow and brown lashes or mascara instead of black, and a sheer of nudish pink for lips.

Semi-cosplay related, but can we have a Japanese culture/Lolita/Cosplay/Weeabooism in the media thread?

Instances of which include when the lolita and kodona boyfriend that went on Snog, Marry, Avoid, the shy Mori girl who's style was butchered on Hotter than my daughter, and even stretching to include that mini doc that was done on wolfaboo's where they all sat around slashing each others arms to drink their blood and the mother just thought they were being hip and rebellious.

Recently I started disliking a trend I've been seeing become the norm.

I'll be looking through random cosplayer's progress pictures and instead of seeing progress I see things like:
"Oh my friend is airbrushing my suit and her husband is making the cast mold for my armor"
or
"I don't know how to work with latex so I am having the boots, gloves, and headpiece made by a friend"
or
any combination of that.

How do others feel about this? I'll accept I am in the wrong for thinking this kind of craftsmanship is a faux pas but it just seems so false to call in your cosplay or professional friends who specialize in some art. We used to do all this stuff ourselves and learning how to was the enriching experience.

What do you do if you don't have those connections? I guess you just make it yourself but you'll just be compared to someone who had 3 other people working on their cosplay.
It's like when some singer starts off well enough composing all or at least most of their music and then increasingly relies on established singers to feature in their music so they can stay relevant or on top.

At least they're crediting said friends for their efforts, not saying I DID ALL OF THIS.

I personally don;t have an issue with people seeking out help from friends for cosplay things, as longs as the friends are rewarded and credited.
In my cosplay group, we all have different strengths so we all help out on each others' cosplays and try to help each other work on the skills we want to improve. For example, I enjoy doing fiddly details involving handsewing, such as sewing things onto shoes but I suck at prop making. So I often do the fiddly parts of people's cosplays in return for them helping me with my props.

How about you stop caring so much about people playing dress-up OP?

Most of the people in this hobby dress up for fun; Not to show off how good they are at making shit.
>>
>>6991743
Showing how good you are at making things to play dress up is the name of thr cosplay game.

Its not just a casual costume party at a friend's house. For some it is competition, business , personal pride, and also, yes, fun.

Some definitely do want to be recognized for their skill, which is actually numerous esoteric and difficult skills, because that is a nice reward for their hard work and dedication.

I've got some new shoes for an outfit, and was wearing them around and breaking them in today; the toes fit nicely and they're quite comfortable BUT the back edge is pretty tall and is rubbing against my heel and making it red (and if I wear them too long will definitely blister). Is there something I can put against it to stop the rubbing, or should I try cutting the back of the shoe, or what?

It's for a gijinka so it's not like the shape of the shoe really matters, I'd just like something that can stay snug on my foot since the rest of the shoe is slightly too big.

Look for moleskin pads or if you can't find those band-aids work too. Look in the outdoor section, people use moleskin for breaking in hiking boots.

>Just want to have good skin or even "good-looking" skin :(
Stop using foundation that breaks you out then. You sound like you've fallen into the have acne->cover it up with makeup->makeup makes you break out->wear more makeup->break out more cycle. Seriously, just try wearing a tinted moisturiser or BB cream for a little while if you feel you NEED to wear something, something that doesn't break you out, and your skin will improve. BB cream and concealer is generally plenty for everyday wear.

Anyone got tips for night-time looks for girls with young-looking faces? I've been wearing makeup almost every time I go outside for a couple of years now (concealer, foundation, eyeliner, mascara blusher, powder, shimmery eyeshadow in neutral, tones if I'm doing something special), and while I like the way I look with it on, I'm just so bored of doing basically the same thing every time. Years of lolita means my makeup is always focused on looking cutesy and playing up my youthful features, and I have no idea how to do a more mature look for going out without looking like a little girl who got into mommy's makeup bag. Honestly, I'm not sure I can pull off "sexy" with my face, but just something a little darker/more mature would be a nice change of pace. So uh, yeah. Help, please?
